Needle is not picking up the thread?

Hi,

I have a fairly new small sewing machine and have been using it with no problems for the last 2 months.

Today I in mid of the sewing I#ve heard a clicking noise and I can't get the needle to pick up the thread from the bobbin below with the needle since then.

I have searched the forum and found a thread which had a few suggestions. (Taking needle out and making sure it was in correctly, changing to straight stitch etc).

I have tried all these but still cant get it working.

The needle is not actually going far enough down to pick up the thread from below, as far as I can tell.

Many thanks!

Sounds like it needs retiming, if you email me IO will attach instructions but make sure you let me know your make and model, type my address as you say it not as you see.
